Market Day

Next Monday we have Market Day, which is when we raise money to go to camp at Stewart Island.

All the Year 6's have to participate in Market Day.  In my stand I am working with Jack and Josh.  We are selling slushies and we are selling turns on the Play Station.  One of the Play Stations will be hooked up to the Interactive Whiteboard (if it works) to give a larger than life experience.  So come to Myross Bush School and buy stuff, lots of stuff, next Monday to help get us to camp.

Last Weekend

Last weekend I finally got to go to Greymouth for South Island Country and Town Swim Meet.  I didn't win anything but I got Personal Best times in 50 and 100 Freestyle and 50 Backstroke, 1.5 second improvement in my 50's and 9 second improvement in my 100 and I didn't get last in anything, I did miss my PB in the 100 Backstoke.  Southland got the trophy for most points for a region and my club Orca was third placed club overall, and Southland were the loudest team there we shouted down Eastern Districts even though they were a bigger and older team than us!  It was a really long trip to drive there and back.

The weekend was made even better when my sister Jamie won three awards for hair dressing at the L'Oreal Hair Dressing Compettion in Auckland.  She won her category, the Peoples Choice Award and the Magazine Editors Choice Award.  This was the first time a hairdresse rhad won three awards at this competition in one night! She won $8000 in prizes but she isn't going to take me to Sydney as the second person in the trip for two that she won.
